Brake dust????

Anyone have a good method to get brake dust off of some Rota Subzero's?

Previous owner seems to let the rims go to hell(can definately tell which ones have spent most time up front)

Any recommended products out there?

Best I have found is this stuff called Wheel Magic. Green liquid in a clear spray bottle, looks pretty ghetto, but works like no other when you need something to cut miles worth of brake dust. I think Blue Coral makes it.

Oh, and its CHEAP! One $2.57 bottle lasts me the entire summer with weekly washings.

Simple green works pretty good as well.

Thanks.

It's almost to the point where I think it would be easier to powder coat the rims a darker color....

Good info. Probably why the Rota's are painted in the first place.

Good looking out.
